At Golfista Apparel Co., we believe golfers deserve better gear - not just in how it performs, but in how it’s made. That’s why we’ve made a bold move: we’ve upgraded our production to a USA-based manufacturing partner, and as a result, we’re lowering our prices across the board.
Sound surprising? We’ll break it down.
A Big Shift: Why We Chose American Manufacturing
When we first launched Golfista, our goal was to bring premium polos to golfers who care about both performance and purpose. We started with overseas manufacturing - and while that worked for a time, it didn’t give us the control, consistency, or values alignment we wanted for the future of the brand.
Here’s why we chose to bring production stateside:
1. More Control Over Quality
American manufacturers offered us tighter quality control and faster product development cycles. That means:
-
Better fit and fabric consistency
-
Higher attention to stitching, color matching, and final details
-
Better overall customer experience
2. Faster Production, Less Waiting
By moving to domestic, made-to-order manufacturing, we’ve cut our production time in half - with an average turnaround of just 5 days. That means:
-
You get your gear faster, with no guesswork
-
More frequent product drops
-
No “sold out” notices
-
Better availability
We make your polo when you order it - and ship it out quick.
3. Closer to Our Core Values
We wanted to build a brand that represents American craftsmanship, integrity, and independence - the same values you bring to the course. Partnering with a USA-based cut-and-sew facility let us:
-
Support American jobs
-
Ensure fair wages and safe working conditions
-
Stand proudly behind every shirt we make - because it’s made here, the right way
But Wait… Lower Prices?
Yes, and here’s why that’s possible - and sustainable:
1. Lower Overhead
By working directly with a domestic manufacturer and streamlining our operations, we eliminated layers of international middlemen and freight fees. That cost savings goes right back to you.
2. Made-to-Order Efficiency
Because every Golfista polo is made to order, we don’t hold inventory or overproduce. That means no waste, no guesswork - just smart, efficient production. And that efficiency helps us keep prices fair without cutting corners.
3. Fewer “Extras,” More Focus
We’ve trimmed unnecessary packaging, reduced waste, and focused on what matters: delivering premium polos that perform on the course and look sharp off it. No gimmicks, no bloat - just great shirts at honest prices.
What’s New with Our Polos?
With this shift, you’ll start to see:
-
Improved stitching and fabric feel
-
Refined Fit - Still Athletic and Better Tailored
-
New designs with even bolder personality (have you seen the Americana polo?)
Each polo still features moisture-wicking performance fabric and all-day comfort - but now with American-made reliability baked in.
This Is Just the Beginning
We’re not just changing where we make our polos - we’re evolving what it means to wear Golfista. This is about building something long-lasting, authentic, and aligned with the players who inspire us every day.
To our longtime customers: thanks for believing in us from the beginning. To the new players joining our journey: welcome. The best rounds are still ahead.
